POM (Polyoxymethylene)

 

Sheets | Rods | Tubes | Custom Machined Components

POM (Polyoxymethylene), commonly known as Acetal and widely recognized under the trade name Delrin®, is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic known for its excellent dimensional stability, high stiffness, low friction, and outstanding machinability.

Among its advanced grades, Delrin® AF (Acetal + PTFE fiber filled) is specifically engineered for low-friction and wear-resistant applications. Delrin® AF combines the strength and rigidity of acetal with the self-lubricating properties of PTFE fibers, resulting in significantly reduced wear, lower coefficient of friction, and improved performance in dry-running environments. This makes it particularly suitable for sliding, bearing, and precision motion components where lubrication is limited or not preferred.

Description

POM materials are available in sheets, rods, and tubes for precision machining. It is widely used in tight-tolerance components due to its low moisture absorption and excellent dimensional consistency. Delrin® and its modified grades are extensively used in gears, bearings, bushings, valve parts, and mechanical assemblies requiring high accuracy and repeatability.

Due to its balance of strength, stability, and wear performance, POM remains one of the most preferred engineering plastics for precision industrial applications.
